You can refer to the examples under STM32CubeF4 package to see their structure and get inspired from them to configure your files: STM32Cube_FW_F4_V1.21.0\Projects\STM32F429I-Discovery\Applications\STemWin

The STM32F429 Discovery kit (STM32F429I-DISC1) allows users to easily develop applications with the STM32F429 high-performance MCUs with ARM®Cortex®-M4 core.

The discovery board referenced STM32F429I-DISCO does not support the drag&drop and Virtual Comm Port features. If you are using this board version, you will have to use an external tool (for example the STM32 STLink utility) to program your code .bin file. There is no possibility to use either the printf in your code.

This discovery board offers everything required for users to get started quickly and develop applications easily. The full range of hardware features on the board helps to evaluate almost all peripherals and develop your own applications.

The STM32F429I-DISC1 board includes an ST-LINK/V2-B embedded debug tool, a 2.4" QVGA TFT LCD, an external 64-Mbit SDRAM, an ST MEMS gyroscope, a USB OTG micro-AB connector, LEDs and push-buttons.

The STM32F429 Discovery helps you to discover the high-performance microcontrollers of the STM32 F4 series and to develop your applications easily. It offers everything required for beginners and experienced users to get started quickly.

Based on the STM32F429ZIT6, it includes an ST-LINK/V2 embedded debug tool, a 2.4" QVGA TFT LCD, an external SDRAM of 64 Mbits, a gyroscope ST MEMs, a USB OTG micro-AB connector, LEDs and pushbuttons.

A large number of free ready-to-run application firmware examples are available on www.st.com/stm32f4-discovery to support quick evaluation and development.

STM32F429 has also LTDC driver for LCD like that, but this driver we will use later. For now we will use SPI for driving in serial mode and some other pins for controlling.

Remember: This library can also be used, if you are not using STM32F429 Discovery. It can be used in previous STM32F4 Discovery board. All pins can be changed in defines.h file which is included in project.

Ahh yeah look at that! If you look closely, top right of the LCD, that’s obviously a flex connector for a resistive touch overlay (4 contacts running to the 4 sides of the LCD overlay).

Agreed! I will be picking one up. I’ve been happy developing for the stm32f4discovery (and other stm32 chips) with gcc, openocd and gdb. It is all free.

A fair number of inexpensive baseboards/motherboards/accessories have also appeared for earlier versions. I hope Olimex puts out a couple nice STM32F429/427 boards.

I can see there is only a STLINK usb connector on board, so there is even no FS to expect. beside HS, I suppose does mean High Speed (480mbps). but HS anyway needs a separate physical layer USB chip for addition to STM32F4 chip and most likely this is chip is not present on this board anyway, because this is STM32F4+LCD+SDRAM demoboard and there is no need for USB at all.

I think Farnell’s 21€ will be accurate, as ST’s suggested USD price is $24. The placeholders for the STM32F429I-DISCO on element14 (a division of Farnell) and mouser show $42, which I think predates the later ST announcement. I think the ST announced $24 will hold, and the distributor prices will match that, as they have in the past.

I wouldn’t expect TI to hack profits from their calculator range, and HP have always been expensive, but ST could easily change their format to calculator-friendly. Clamshell design, LCD & battery in top half, CPU & keypad in bottom half, expansion pins to left / right of keypad makes a self contained unit.

HP Palm – Love the idea, hate the baguette (french bread loaf) layout. If I could get custom key covers, and surface-mount key switches, I’d be designing my own low-profile keypad to go with an LCD module. Top side keypad, bottom side CPU / RAM / USB / LCD driver / power regulation / expansion port.

Great find, thanks! Man, could they have buried the details on that guy any farther down into the document? I can’t help but feel like a quick pointer in the LCD section to “oh by the way there’s a touch screen, here’s how to talk to it” would have been a good idea.

It’s certainly useable in any other project where you have an onboard LCD controller. Especially any other project that happens to use a STM32F4. What difference would it have made if it had an external controller? Surely it’d have been on the same PCB. Were you hoping for a removeable SPI-interfaced module?

Look in the UM1670 user manual, paragraph 4.8: the tft includes an ILI9341 controller. The ILI9341 has it’s own graphics ram inside, it is not mapped into the STM32 address space. It is connected to the STM32 via a parallel bus. The ILI9341 and similar controllers are common on cheap chinese tfts. So it is no problem to source similar tfts for your final product after developing on the discovery board.

UM1670 in paragraph 4.8 also says that “The TFT LCD is a 2.41″ display of 262 K colors. Its definition is QVGA (240 x 320 dots) and is directly driven by the STM32F429ZIT6 using the RGB protocol”. ILI9341 has multiple modes of operation including direct RGB/HSYNC/VSYNC mode which bypasses internal GRAM. I don’t have the board yet but I assume display buffer is located in external SDRAM which is also on the board. The whole point of this kit is to show TFT and SDRAM interface in new STM32F4x9.

I’ve checked this discovery board firmware available from ST’s site (“STM32F429 discovery firmware package UM1662” number: STSW-STM32138, btw. finding it is a bit difficult – ST’s site is terrible):

Check again martin. Those lines have pullups to vdd and are connected to cpu pins. I have this board for some time and I can confirm that lcd is driven by lcd controller from cpu and frame buffer is in external dram which is also on the board.

One of my favorite features of the STM32F429 discovery board is the TFT-LCD display. After setting up the programming IDE I started looking at the code examples given by ST. One code example caught my eye: The "LTDC_Display_2Layers" project.
